Question help for Mama

Ok guys I really have a problem. My husband has been working on his 93 F150 5.0 truck. He has a problem with the cooling system. He has replaced the water pump,radiator,head gaskets, intake gaskets, & themomitor.To no avail. He can't even get around the block without it overheating. Help I have had no car for 2 weeks. I'm bored and would appreciate any help. Mama Judy

With the engine cold remove the rad cap and start. If your getting a lot of air bubbles suspect a cracked head. If not let it run to opperating temp uncaped, keeping it full of coolant to work out the air.

Steam out the exhaust is from coolant. A burnt valve will cause a mis.

I think I understand what your saying now. A crack in the head at the exhaust seat.
